Cub Cadet 70 key
 

I picked up a CC 70 today.The key is broken so i need to get another one. My question is, if i buy a original key off Ebay, do i want one just for a 70? Or, will any narrow frame key work?

Thank you

all the older cub keys are the same.

As all IH tractors.

I got the spare keys of all the IH tractors we used to own and I found the old spare to my 1200 that has the IH on it! That's the key in my 1211 now.

The key I have for my cub is a artic cat 370z key. It has a nice rubber grip and isn't so hard on your hands. Just a helper

If that's the case then your tractor doesn't have the original ignition switch in it.

This has always surprised me. Every key the same. My first thought is why even have a key, but I suppose it allows you to keep the kids off the tractor when you don't want them playing with it!

Most all the old tractor companies and equipment companies did the same thing. IH had their own, so did Deere, Case, AC, CAT, and so on. Never changed. The keys did, but the code didn't. You can still have one key for all your equipment. Like when Case and IH merged, they went to a key and stayed with it. I'm not sure if the old and new Magnums still use the same key, they might have changed code.

my 1450 key is a john deere key, or i can start it with a screw driver, or tool box key, or paper clip. its just a standard tractor key.

It's and original switch they just interchange as that if you have enough keyed equipment chances are you have a key that will fit. It's very generic
